THE OUTING OF PUBLIUS AND THE COMFORT OF ANONYMITY
I have no respect for the anonymity of bloggers for they hide behind it as a cover--as to say they are ashamed of what they have written. I never use a fake name regardless of the "slings and arrows" and other misfortunes that befall me, as I am not ashamed of what I say or who I am (and yes, I have been ostracized by my entire family to the fifth generation, have lost job opportunities, etc) for that is the price of responsible writing. In a free society all opinions count but only if the author stands sentry and proud of them--otherwise they should not be posted. It is so common to read "form an anonymous source whose identity could not be given for...." various reasons--then why trust that source?
